Indeed they do. It's already subtitled once it's uploaded. I'm amazed!

I've finally signed up with iQiyi because Viki is too slow...Just finished watching the last two episodes.

Ahh is it uploaded immediately? I can't even wait for the subtitles anymore!

If you like this, not sure if you've watched it already but check out Magnificent Century: Kosem, a Turkish historical series. Slightly similar. It dramatizes the life of Kosem how she became a slave in the sultan's harem, how she became the favorite and became the first and only regent Sultana of the Ottoman empire. Romantic, compelling drama - soooo gooood.

I agree it's underrated. I gave it a 10. I believe some were expecting a strictly romantic drama. But alas! This is the story of Haolan mother of the future first emperor of China.

It's good that you're only at episode 9 so you'll not run out of episodes to watch. On the other hand, there's really a lot of good incidents in the succeeding episodes. I've already watch all the 18 and I'm dying for the release of episode 19, 20 & especially when they finally meet as Prince and Lige on their wedding day/night.

I watched Weiyoung few weeks ago and I liked the premise. But I was not impress with it compared to this one (Song of Glory). You are right though it has that kind of vibes. Hopefully the creators really took the creative license and completely romanticized this story.

OK I researched it immediately after I read your post. Only God knows exactly what happened right? But damn! Interesting how this goes....Nevertheless I love this drama.

Sadly there's no episodes 8 & 9. How did you discover this? Are you the owner of this channel? Pls continue to sub. Thanks.

I agree. We all do have different perspectives and that's individuality. Wow! Your criteria are indeed simple. :O Mine...aah I'm a bit of a fuss.

Thanks. Watched it and my reaction was Oh My GOD! I'm dying...

Great thanks.

I have this understanding that most of us who are not from China are the ones loving this series. :O Or rather the older ones like me appreciates Song of Glory.

Great. I'll check it out. I was turned off with iQiyi though because when you check their old shows and other ones the translations were so dodgy.

Where did you folks find the trailer? Ahhh really can't wait.

Oh my God! Can't wait for them to meet already. In the meantime 4 or 5 days wait for the next episode is too long. It's like a century.

Is iQiyi better than Viki? I kept checking but it seems really that Viki is such a turtle in doing their subtitles for this drama? I'm already charged for this month. Ugghh!

I never understood these sub-genres before. But since last year I started to watch Chinese dramas I had to learn these. I was biased and hated it before or just simply detested it. Now I like Wuxia and even warmed to Xianxia. Damn I even love Eternal Love & The Legends.

I agree. I also have this dreadful feeling that the master is a sinister character here instead of fighting for the right cause.

Exactly my point. Seems like these two companies don't have exclusive rights to most of their series because you can watch them in both platforms. In the mean time I'm rewatching The Imperial Doctress and I've already cried again a barrel of tears.
